I've ranted and raved about Clean Eating Magazine tonight (I promise I'm not affiliated lol) and for supper we had one of the gazillions of recipes in the current issue. Fresh, tasty, filling, fast, healthy, low on cals... can we ask for more?! If you make this, it's in the database now under the recipe name. Give it a try! Light Ensalada Rusa w/ Marinated Tomatoes 2 yukon gold potatoes 2 lg carrots 1/2 lg sweet potato (I used yam, it's what I had) 2 eggs (didn't have any so omitted this time) 6 oz tuna packed in water without salt (I used chopped grilled chicken, it's what I had) 1/2 cup diced yellow onion 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper 1 cup peas dressing: 1/4 cup plain low fat yogurt 1/2 cup low fat sour cream zest of 1 lemon 1 tbsp dijon mustard 1 tbsp lemon juice (juice from 1/2 a lemon) fresh cracked pepper to taste. chop potatoes, (yam), & carrots, cover in water in med. pot with eggs & boil 10-15 mins until just soft. If frozen, add peas for last 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. in large bowl combine potatoes etc., chopped peppers, diced onion & tuna (or chicken). In separate bowl, whisk together ingredients for dressing. Pour over veggies, toss to coat. Serve marinated tomatoes over salad. Marinated toms: chop 2 roma tomatoes and mix with 3 tbsp wine vinegar, cracked pepper and sea salt to taste. Chill 20 mins before topping salad. serves 8 (3/4 cup servings). cals: 127 fats: 1.5g carbs: 19g fibre: 3.5g protein: 10g sugars: 5g sodium: 158mg cholesterol: 10mg I am the sum of every choice I make. "Success breeds success."

Each time he said, 'My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.' So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me." ~ 2 Corinthians 12:8-9

The nutrition info is for the recipe without my modifications. So the eggs are included. They get hard boiled at the same time as the pot veggies are cooking. I can see that the egg whites would be REALLY tasty in there. OOH! I forgot one instruction that will affect cals! You don't use the yolks Oops Edited by PedalHound on Mon 07/21/08 08:53 PM I am the sum of every choice I make. "Success breeds success."
